| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| When the alleles on a chromosome are NOT the same or different this can be called? | Heterozygous |
| Short segment of DNA that encodes the information to make a specific protein: | Gene |
| Word segment poly- means: | Many |
| XX is a female genotype. Which answer below can be another female genotype? | XO |
| Who is the father of genetics? | Gregor Mendel |
| Word segment chromo- means: | Color |
| This can be defined as an inheritance in which two different alleles in a heterozygote are both equally expressed (blood groups example): | Codominance |
| The study of inheritance of characteristics: | Genetics |
| An individual who has an allele for brown eyes and an allele for blue eyes is said to be: | Heterozygous |
| Missing or gaining an extra chromosome (e.g., trisomy 21) is known as: | Aneuploidy |
| Also known as a trait that is easily seen or measured: | Phenotype |
| Word segment that means “colored body”? | Chromo- |
| This can be defined as “a chart that displays chromosome pairs in size order”? | karyo- (refers to karyotype) |
| Missing or gaining an extra chromosome (e.g., trisomy 21) is known as: | Aneuploidy |
| Practice: Nondisjunction is: | Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis |
| This can be defined as a type of inheritance where the phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between those of the homozygotes: | Incomplete dominance |
| A karyotype is: | a size-ordered chart of chromosomes |
| A male genotype: | XXY (only valid male option listed) |
| Homozygous: | All of the above (GG and gg are both homozygous) |
| The complete set of genes for an organism: | Genome |
